Sandia Cooler Spinning Heatsink Coller Without Noise

Sandia name reminds me of Intel Sandy Bridge name LOL

Cooling fans are noisy, inefficient and quickly get choked up with filth. So how about a heatsink that doesn’t need a fan because the heatsink itself IS the fan.

Jeff Koplow, a researcher at Sandia National Laboratories, has come up with a new idea where the heat from a CPU of GPU (or whatever you want cooled) is transferred to a heatsink consisting of bands of metal blades. Nicknamed the “Sandia Cooler,” this heatsink sits on top of the component that needs cooling, floating on a tiny cushion of air. Heat stirs the air in this gap which in turn causes the fan to spin.

Koplow believes that if this design was widely adopted that US electricity usage would drop by a whopping 7%.
